Took in some of this ritual this morning. They do it up well. A couple of observations… 1. Whether it‘s Lutheran or Church of England, the liturgy is so close to the Catholic Mass…a few different words here and there…same car, different driver. 2. Just turned on Brentford at Liverpool...

Use the process that happens in all cases. Investigate. Take statements from witnesses. Videos. Coroner/toxicology. Background of both deceased and the putative accused. Forward to prosecutor. Review the applicable laws. Make decisions on what charges, if any, you want to pursue...

No, murders are not ticking back up. You’re a liar. 488 (‘21); 438 (‘22)…down 13% in the first quarter of ‘23

Well, then all I can say is that you’re ignorant.

He will likely have a chance to explain himself to a jury of subway riders. They’ll decide. Lots not known about this…yet.

Murder went down starting with Dinkins (peaked in 1990…2245); went down hugely under Rudy (starting in ‘94); continued to drop under Bloomberg; reached historic lows under DiBlasio (292 in ‘17 and 295 in ‘18); increased for the next few years (as it did everywhere else), going up to 488 in ‘21...

Obviously, the views/opinions/testimony of the other people on that train will be critical. How did they view the acting out of the deceased, prior to the Marine’s involvement? Were they terrified? Was it an everyday occurrence, something they could handle?

I mentioned the Marine being, possibly, out of his element. I work in Downtown Cleveland M-F and have been a regular there (including passing through it for high school) for about 50 years. Like any other of our life experiences, I’ve learned some things, over time, about how to deal with...

Looks like both to me. And, of course, at least to this point, we haven’t seen the beginning of it. But this isn’t like a polite political conversation where you have your opinion and I have mine. A jury will be given an instruction on the laws in the State of New York. What they will be...

He’s certainly deserving of a significant amount of the credit...along with his chief (Bratton). Other factors as well, but Rudy is entitled to a big share of the credit. I guess that means we’re now acknowledging that crime dropped dramatically in NYC over several decades.

OK…some thoughts. I guess the question might be…what is your community? You think it’s a suburb of Akron…I think, maybe, it’s the Akron metro area. Services (homeless shelters, food kitchens), laws (like sex offender registry), drive these people to the city centers. I think you’re kidding...

Public discussion? Sure. As far as judging the behavior of the Marine? Not much. But, he’s a big city street person with serious problems. He acted in accordance with that. Not all that interesting to me. I’m in a big city Downtown every day. Was the Marine out of his element?

Finally…a coherent statement that sums up the views of most on this site about the deceased.

Read the numbers over time. Oh, never mind…

If the choice is: A. A medicinal marijuana state OR B. A fully legal state I vote B…too much wink/nod/fraud with medicinal. Also, once we go fully legal, we can have a more robust conversation about the downside of marijuana…respiratory, laziness, motivation, etc...also manners, customs...

Quite a collection of thoughts… It’s actually a fairly simple legal matter…dead guy; we know the killer; did the things that happened in the seconds/minutes leading up to the choke hold being applied…and the 10-15 minutes that it was applied (including the ongoing determination to continue to...

So convenient…that’s why Fox never includes them!!!!

Law…ins I’ve said a few times that I don’t think he intended to kill him. But there he lies…dead by the hand of another. The legal theory you rely upon to excuse the killing is…

Thus depriving him of the right to continue to breathe? Would the Marine have known that?

one of the reasons this turd-burglar always references murder stats is that they tend to be reliable. As for stats I would accept…try me. Conservative sources for urban crime data…overwhelm me. Of course, one of my criticisms of righty media and their “horrific crime of the day“ reporting is...
